glasses?”
Nathan chuckled. “I find them kind of a hassle. Unless I'm buried in paperwork, I'd rather go without them.”
“You know, you actually look kinda cool with glasses. It’s hot,” | said, remembering the first t| saw him at our

Nathan laughed. “Cool? You thought | was too cool to talk to?”
| shook my head. “Nah, but that whole cool-outside, warm-inside thing you've got going on? It's really

even blinking.
Maybe | was not killing it in my career like he was, but when it cto enjoying life, | was
determined to be better than him.
After my shower, | went through my usual body care routine-it’s becpart of my daily
ritual now. Just like Yvonne always said, she loved how | always smelled so nice.
Seriously, every woman loved that. When a woman got the means and the resources, she'd
